THE MILLS EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

Providing special benefits of any kind not normally provided by the LEA for the Thomas Mills High School and promotion of education of children who reside or attend schools in Framlingham who are in need of financial assistance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
